1 1. SPORTS TODAY Oakland Tribune May 25, 1974 9-E Giants' Windy Winner PAT FRIZZELL Tribune Sports Writer remember, even at "wind blown Candlestick Park, the Giants retained just enough of a nine-run lead to outlast the Los Angeles Dodg. ers again last night, 9-7, before a crowd of 16,860. "It was the windiest night I've ever seen here," said Chris Speier, a fourth-year Giant, who gobbled up nine chances at shortstop while Mike Phillips took care of 10 at second base. Although Speier and Phillips sparkled, defense wasn't exactly the name of the game.

Neither was s. pitching, and yet it was difficult to point to a more heroic performance than that of reliable Randy Moffitt, who recorded his 10th save, second in two nights, third in four games and fourth in eight. With the wind blowing infielder's caps to the outfield fence and Speier wearing his helmet, something he could keep on in the field, there were .22 base hits -many the result of wind. Steve Ontiveros' fourth Continued Page 10, Col. 4 Dark and Bando In New Rhubarb By RON Tribune ANAHEIM Sal Bando will play third base, tonight for the Oakland A's.

That's not exactly what he wants, but he'll, take it. Bando stormed out of the manager's office after Alvin Dark told him he wouldn't be the designated hitter for the game last night. The daily disturbance, nor Catfish Hunter, were enough. To the delight of 24,855 fans at Anaheim Stadium, the California Angels beat the A's 4-3. The defeat didn't cost the A's any of their one-game lead in American League West, but it did add to their lore the angriest team in baseball.

"I wanted to start my way back as the DH," said Banda. "Dark let trot around as the designated hitter and now Reggie is ready to play right field." Bando eventually grounded out as a. pinch-hitter in the eighth, and played in the field in the bottom of the inning for the first time since he bruised his right calf May 5. "Sal's ready," said Dark in anouncing the team captain's return to AP Photo Kansas City's John Mayberry took on Chicago pitching staff after being hit by a pitch. Story page 10 2nd Seals Deal Leach to Philly Gaters Reverse By JOHN PORTER Tribune Sports Writer Resorting to the same method he used to change the Seals from a joke to a contender three years ago, Director of Hockey Garry Young traded away two offensive stars within 24 hours.

After dispatching Ivan Boldirev to the Chicago Black Hawks for two players and future consider- WERE Rations yesterday morning, Young completed an evening deal with the Stanley Cup champion Philadelphia Flyers, sending hard-shooting Reggie Leach east for two minor league players and a first-round amateur draft choice. The Flyers have wanted Reggie for a long time. They plan to team him with the league's most valuable player, center Bobby Clarke. The two set a bushel of records in their junior days at Flin Flon, Man. The Seals receive left wing Al MacAdam and center Larry Wright in addition to the draft Al Unser gets a bit of shade from an USAC Rejects Car Compiled The Indianapolis 500 appeals case, in which five car owners seek a re-opening of qualifying runs for Sunday's big race, gets curiouser and curiouser.

The owners, turned down by a superior court judge who ruled they hadn't exhausted all possible claims against the U. S. Auto Club before taking matters to his courtroom, filed an appeal with USAC and were told they could expect a quick answer. Now, however, USAC's Director of Com- choice. Next Tuesday Young will choose No.

3, No. 17 and No. 21 in the amateur selections. "We almost didn't make the deal with Philly, but they agreed -to give me a player to my satisfaction if we can't sign the draft choice we get or if the kid jumps to World Hockey," said Young. Three years ago when Young came to Oakland the Seals were a last-place team going nowhere.

He made spectacular trades with the few good players he had and the club became respectable. Now Young is trying the same thing and he may have more surprises in store. He wants to swing a deal for a veteran defenseman to go with young bruisers Bob Stewart, Len Frig and Mike Christie. Additionally, he's still interested in Boston outcast Derek Sanderson. He received permission from the Bruins to negotiate with The Turk's agent and may be nearing agreement.

"He ran good to first base and made a good play in the field. I didn't think his muscle will tighten up again." Before the game, Dark had said Bando wasn't playing because he couldn't run at least three-quarter speed. "Big as he is, he could easily pull the muscle ugain and be out another month," Dark had said. "I CAN run at three-quarter speed," Bando maintained. "I proved that at a workout Thursday." Reggie Jackson said he was indeed ready to assume his position in right again.

In fact, he was penned in there on the preliminary lineup card. Then he and Angel Mangual, who was supposed to be the DH, were switched. "Angel said he couldn't be the designated hitter," Jackson said. "Well, if he can't, he can't. But I'm ready to play out there.

Green used an eight-iron on the green to chip over a spike mark for a finishing birdie that gave him a 132 total, 12 under par on the hot and muggy yard Colonial Country Club course. His two-round total equalled the best 36-hole score on the pro tour this season but the laconic Green was singularly unimpressed. "It doesn't signify anything," he said.

"The only thing that matters is when they add up the total. after four rounds on Green," who has collected the titles in the Bob Hope Desert Classic and the Jacksonville Open along with $103,186 in winnings this year, played his back nine in fiveunder-par 31 to sweep past first-round co-leaders Gary Player and Rod Curl. Curl, the little Wintu Indian who scored a surprise victory in the Colonial National in Fort Worth, Tex. last week, slipped to a 69 and was tied at 134, two strokes back, with red-haired Tom Watson. Watson, along with Green and two others, took advantage of the Continued Page 10, Col.

2 Boston to complete the deal, perhaps one of his few remaining proven players such as Joey Johnston, Walt McKechnie or Hil Graves. "I called Reggie in Manitoba to tell him," said Young. "He was on the golf course and when I finally talked to him he was really happy. He can't wait to play with his old buddy Clarke. "It wasn't easy for me to give up Ivan, but after a season like that last one, I can't leave the defense the way it is.

Both Frig and Christie will be right on the blue line for us next October." Both trades are nearly the exact combinations Young tried to effect just before the regular season deadline. Apparently there wasn't as much objection by the league, which owns the Seals and must approve trades, after the playoffs. Frig, Christie, MacAdam 'and Wright are signed for next year. The future consideration in the Boldirev deal is expected to mean another player, so the Seals will wind up with six for two. Continued Page 11, Col.

6 Denver By JACK RUX Tribune Sports Writer Turning around a previous pattern, the Golden Gaters won their World Team Tennis match with 1 the Denver Racquets last night by winning in doubles. In the three matches since the new tennis league switched its program of events to five sets, three of them doubles, the two matches they won were by piling up big leads in the early singles. Last night after the two singles sets, the Gaters found themselves behind, 12-11.
